Chapter 14: The Truth Revealed

Xiaoman said again: "As for the reason why I didn't explain it to you—even Wei Pu didn't know—it was because you were a confessor. If you know that my disappearance is fake, you will not be in a hurry. You should know that there are many people who see you as a kind of mirror of my actions. Wouldn't it be self-defeating if they saw the truth out of your actions? For the sake of this layer, I had to deliberately not inform you. I'm sorry you're taking a big risk. However, I also prevent you from having any accidents, and have already sent people to wait around your residence, just in case. ”

"So, when I was kidnapped by them, someone saw me?"

"Not bad. At that time, the two stalkers also saw it with their own eyes. But they can't save you. ”

"Why?"

"I beg your pardon for that. As I have already said, my purpose was to explore a route and find out where they were. So the two stalkers are only ordered to follow you, and they are not responsible for rescuing or taking you down. I also expect that they will not be difficult for you for a while, and I will try to save you as soon as I find the lair of the bandits. ”

"You just rely on that mule cart to know the location of the bandit den?"

"Nope. The one who was watching only followed to a house on East Water Street. Outside the door of the house is marked with a sign of "three do not deceive", which looks like an incense and candle shop, but it is actually the joint location of the gang. We later learned that there was no evidence of a crime in this house, and that the real gangsters were the dungeons of the Black Hairpin Lane and Dadingfang that I just mentioned. ”

"Oh, how did you find out?"

"After they tied you up on Dongshui Street, the man who followed you, his name was Ma Wangsan, came back to report. We thought it was the final den of the gangs. I discussed with Feng Zizhou, gathered a few skilled martial arts catchers, and prepared to arrest them. Unexpectedly, when we were assigning tasks, suddenly someone sent you a note~. ”

Jing Mo thought of the text message he was forced to write, and asked, "Did you go back to your gluttonous cat fast at that time?" ”

"Yes, there is some chance that I will go back and prepare my weapons, in case I can use them. As a result, someone sent you a handwritten note~. Naturally, this person was captured by me and Wei Pu. I used a little trick, and he was used by me. So we were able to crack their real gangsters, and it's all thanks to you. The fly in the ointment is that you are tired of taking a risk and suffering a little. ”

"Even if it is a scourge for the Jinling fathers and elders, my little adventure is nothing."

Nie Xiaoman smiled: "If you have this opinion, then you agree with the bee poem I changed." ”

Jing Mo also smiled lightly and came up with another question. "You just said that the messenger was used by you in turn, how did you take advantage of him?" Because Jing Mo remembered that he had also tried to use one hundred and fifty taels of silver to impress the prison watcher in the dungeon, but the result was a complete failure.

Nie Xiaoman smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple. His name is Xu Ruoding, he is the henchman of Wu Heihu, who is in charge, and he is also an important figure in the gang, so he naturally knows where the secret cave is. He first heard me tell me about the situation in their gang and the place of contact, and he was very clear, and he couldn't help but feel empty. He had studied for a few days, was still young, and loved his life. So I just told him two kinds of punishments in the prison of your brocade guard, and I accepted them. Then we distributed a large group of men and horses to attack the cave. ”

Jing Mo remembered that when he fell into the hands of Wu Heihu, the other party also mentioned all kinds of torture by Jinyiwei, it seems that these bandits are still quite jealous. This Jinling is also different from Beijing, if there is such a Jiangyang thief in Beijing, he is not qualified to enjoy the hospitality of Jinyiwei at all.

But in Jinling City, it's still okay to say hello.

Nie Xiaoman said again: "When we attacked, everyone tried their best, and although the bandits were defenseless, they also resisted desperately. As a result, I injured two heads, and I also suffered a slight injury to the back of my hand. ”

Xiao Man unconsciously raised his left hand, and Jing Mo saw Xiao Man's left hand bandaged on the back.

Xiao Man continued: "At that time, we were fighting in the teahouse, and we didn't expect you to escape from another way out. Fortunately, a few soldiers of the Jinling Guard on the corner were fighting with the snitch in front of the winery, and after discovering you, they reported Wang Dianshi's history and rushed over to rescue you. According to the two catchers who saved you, there was another person behind you who fell on the threshold. This person is obviously chasing you, but somehow, he was also hit by a sword in his back and fell to the ground. In addition, there is another thief with triangular eyes, wearing ink-colored trolling, and wearing a drummed hat, running away in front of you. The soldiers didn't stop for a while, and the catchers couldn't catch up. ”

Jing Mo remembered the triangular eye, and hurriedly responded: "Alas! I know this person, his name is Bian Siliu, and he may be a pseudonym, but it's strange, I'm still at the moment. ”

Nie Xiaoman asked movingly, "How strange?" ”

"This thief is the one who tied me up with his own hands. He was the one who let me out. I couldn't figure out what he meant. ”

"What? Is it the one who tied you up and put yours? Nie Xiaoman was obviously surprised.

"Yes!"

"There are a lot of thieves in this case, you won't admit your mistake, right?"

"No, it won't. He was relatively short in stature, and he talked to me a lot. I can't be mistaken. ”

"How's he looking?"

"It's special. His face was pale yellow, like wax; The eyebrows are slender, the mouth is not big, and the triangular eyes are very ugly, I remember clearly. ”

Jing Mo told Bian Siliu that he was wearing a dark troll, talking as if he had read some books, and he first tied himself up and then saved himself.

Nanxing was beside her, and although she didn't interject, she covered her mouth with a white towel several times, as if to forbid her frightened voice from shouting.

Nie Xiaoman lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "This is really strange! I can't think of any meaning in this trick either. ”

Jing Mo said: "Now that this gang has been cracked, this little doubt can always be broken." Did the man you said about being the boss called Wu Heihu ever caught? ”

Xiao Man said: "Caught." Wu Heihu was captured on Dongshui Street. The thieves in the magic kiln killed a total of seven and caught fourteen, including the pock-faced man named the fourth child. And the detained meat ticket rescued a lot, and a total of some stolen goods, I don't know yet. Because I have to send you here for treatment first, all the aftermath dishes have been handed over to Feng Zizhou. ”

After finishing the case, Xiaoman stood up: "Now you really don't feel pain?" Well, you'll have to rest for a few days. I'll go see Feng Zizhou, ask him how he passed by, and I'll come back to see you later. ”

The end of this matter was completely unexpected by Jing Mo. Although he suffered a little false alarm and suffered a little, such a large-scale vicious bandit gang was annihilated with one blow, and it was regarded as sweeping away some disasters for the people of Jinling, and his own price was not lost.

That night, Nanxing had been taking care of Jingmo in front of the bed, and he had hardly slept in front of the bed. Jingmo's pain was also alleviated a lot, but he felt sorry for his newlywed wife.

The next morning, Nie Xiaoman returned to his gluttonous cat zhai and told Jing Mo that the thief chief Wu Heihu had confessed a lot.

They had committed forty-one crimes, and the total number of the gang was more than two hundred, and many escaped from the Juxian Winery that day, but most of the more important people were among the twenty-one who had been killed and captured.

If the rest of the thieves who have slipped through the net are to be completely eliminated, it will take some time and effort to do so. That Wu Heihu is not simple, he has not only read books, but also knows a lot of secret techniques of the rivers and lakes, so on the surface he looks a little elegant and a little evil.

In addition to Wu Heihu, there are really a few of his subordinates who know how to prepare the secret medicine and mechanism techniques of the rivers and lakes, and although the case of Wende Ticket Number Qiancang was designed by Wu Heihu himself, it was a thief with the surname right under him who actually did it.

This man has also been caught. According to him, the swallow painted with white lead powder in the door of the money warehouse was painted by accident by the surname Quan, not by Wu Heihu's order. Therefore, he did not admit that there was a deliberate intention to counterfeit.

The stolen goods were as much as 17,800 taels in cash, and there were many other precious jewelry. There is only a 'Tian Huangshi' ornament deposited by the Lord Qing Tian in the Yuan of Nanjing Honglu Temple, as well as the silk merchant Ma Yuanji's external deposit, the Tang Dynasty and a line of masters' tongue and blood scriptures "Wheel ~ Holy King Sutra" are missing. Feng Zizhou asked again and again, and according to Wu Heihu, it was hidden in a secret room in the tunnel.

But everything else in the secret room is there, and only these two things are missing, which is inevitably a fly in the ointment. However, Nie Xiaoman finally did his best this time, and his responsibility could come to an end.

Jing Mo still has an inexplicable mystery in his heart, that is, the triangular eyes that wear dragging, since he tied himself into the bandit cave at first, why did he let himself out afterwards? And according to Nie Xiaoman, when he escaped from the door of the Juxian Winery, there were clearly people outside the door to help him.

Now that I think about it, the sword stabbed in the back probably stabbed the person chasing after Jing Mo down. Jing Mo was able to escape, so is this person who made a move for Jing Mo Bian Siliu?

What is the purpose of Bian Siliu after all?

At this moment, this person has obviously escaped without a trace, and Jing Mo's mystery can't be explained anymore.

After another two days, Jing Mo's right leg injury was slightly better, and his left hand could not be raised. Jing Mo was barely able to get out of bed, and he could go to the toilet by himself. Nanxing has been busy here for three days, and he is really sleepy, so when he saw that Jingmo was better, he went home and slept by himself.

In the middle of the night, Jingmo was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard someone gently tapping on the window frame. Jing Mo suddenly sobered up and asked, "Who?" Who's out there? ”

A voice whispered, "Master Su, why are you so forgetful?" Are you feeling better today? I've come to see you three times, and it's gratifying to see you recover little by little. I have to apologize to you. This time, I had some urgent things to do, passing by Jinling, and I wanted to quietly not teach people to know. Later, I borrowed some money from the man surnamed Yang, but he accidentally leaked the news outside, which caused this turmoil. ”

Jing Mo's heart is in his throat, this, is this the legendary ......

Listening to the voice outside the window, he continued: "After the news of my arrival in Jinling was spread, only two days later, the case of the Wende ticket number occurred. I hate it when people take my name. The case was clumsy, but the value of what was obtained was not small. ”

"You don't have to look for those two missing things, I have returned them to their original owners and put them back in the hands of the main owner. I'm done talking, you can take care of your injuries, we'll have a time later. ”

After saying that, there was no movement outside the window for a long time.

Jing Mo didn't dare to move on the bed, so it took a full column of incense before he struggled to sit up. Jingmo found the fire fold in the dark, lit the lamp, and opened the small window to take a look, but where did he see half a figure?

I saw the moonlight pouring silently on the leaves and flowers of the plants in the patio like flowing water. A thin green mist floated between the branches and leaves. The leaves and flowers seem to have been washed in cow's milk; It's like a dream with a light veil.

Although it was a full moon, there was a faint cloud in the sky, so it could not shine brightly; And that's just right. The moonlight shone down through the branches in the high places, and the shrubs in the high places fell jagged and mottled black shadows.

The night is like a thick inkstone, so deep that it can't be dissolved......
